If, Glasvegas’s new EP, is available now. The EP is accompanied by three exclusive recordings from the band. A cover of PJ Harvey’s The Words That Maketh Murder, Press , a new track written especially for the EP by James Allan and Finished Sympathy, a demo of the ultimate track on the new album.

“A lot of thought went into this EP,” says James. “From the decision about the cover track right down to the wee <> symbols in the Press title, which I wanted to make look like a button on a VCR. I sometimes mess around with letters and symbols and stuff.

“The reason for choosing The Words That Maketh Murder was that some of the covers we have done in the past have been older songs, so we wanted to go for something newer. The PJ Harvey album Let England Shake is a record we had been listening to and it seemed an obvious choice to pick a song from this record.

“Press is a new song and is me speaking in a hypothetical sense, a ‘what if-scenario’, and the demo of Finished Sympathy, well it’s a bloody good song from the album that we are really proud of, based on my opinion that sympathy is something that’s finished at too young an age. You can expect heavy fireworks from the album version.”

The new video features the legendary William Shatner and is Glasvegas’ take on the Old Grey Whistle Test.
